🚨 Think total rest is the best way to heal an injury? Think again.

In this episode of Your Healing Team, I'm breaking down one of the biggest myths about recovery: that more rest = faster healing. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. In fact, too much rest can actually slow your recovery and make it harder for your body to heal properly.

Here's what we're covering: ✅ The difference between total rest and relative rest—and why one is better for healing. ✅ Why ignoring your body's signals can delay recovery (and how to listen to them instead). ✅ The shocking truth about muscle wasting—how it starts in just 9 hours of inactivity. ✅ How to stay active and avoid irritating your injury, so you can heal faster and stronger.

🎾 Whether you're dealing with tennis elbow, back pain, or a rolled ankle, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you recover smarter—not harder.
